"Christina is the first pet sitter we used on Pawshake, and she’s really amazing! We could really tell that she genuinely loves and cares about our cats. Morning (our cat) was a bit shy at first but eventually became very comfortable and even needy around her 😂 Communication was absolutely perfect - she sent report cards, messages, photos, and videos after every visit, which was a big relief to us while we were away. She also carefully monitored Morning’s pee clumps for any unusual color, as he has kidney issues. We truly appreciated everything she did for us and for the cats, and will definitely reach out again for our next trip!"

"We are first time pet owners and were unsure how it would go with having a pet sitter come to the house to look after our wee rabbit Monty. Charlotte was an absolute gem, and we immediately felt at ease with leaving Monty in her care. Monty had been unwell the week prior to our planned holiday so we were concerned leaving him when he was only just back on the road to recovery. Charlotte did a great job of administering his medication and was very competent in this regard, and she kept us regularly updated when visiting the house which reassured us that Monty was in safe hands. We will definitely engage Charlotte again as a sitter for Monty - she was friendly, polite and had great warmth when talking about animals in general and more specifically a lovely nature when dealing with Monty. Charlotte followed all our guidelines for Monty's care and I think his area was cleaner when we arrived home than when we left! We would highly recommend Charlotte as a pawshake sitter, she did a great job and we were very lucky to have found her through the pawshake website."

Brydie came to our house each day to take care of our bunny and shared good updates and pictures. We felt like he was in good capable hands and could rely on Brydie to do a great job."

"Millie is my new favourite pet sitter. She was so great with my cat and I could tell he loved his time with her. He was relaxed and even playing, rolling around and leading her around the garden. My cat doesn't do that with just anyone. She also was good giving him eye drops and looking after my plants. I came home to a happy cat. I highly recommend Millie!"

"Lisa was Astra’s sitter for a few weeks and i could not be more happy with Lisa, Astra was well taken care of. I came home to a very happy affectionate kitty. I highly recommend Lisa, great communication skills and Astra loved having her coming in each day to see to her, and no issues whatsoever, which meant no stress for me. "

"Absolutely wonderful experience having Kelly look after our cat and we will absolutely go with her again next time we need a cat sitter! Our cat, Dayz, adored her and she did an amazing job of caring for her over the 21 days we were out of the country. Kelly sat with Dayz and took the time to bond with her which was fantastic as Dayz was very anxious around previous cat sitters who just came in to feed then leave again. I highly recommend if anyone has the opportunity to have Kelly look after their pets, go for it! You won’t regret it :)"

"Tatiana looked after our 7-month old puppy. She's a professional and conscientious pet sitter who calmly and confidently managed our boy's puppy energy. Tatiana also did a great job taking on the training/command routines we explained to her, which was very important to us."

"Brianna was absolutely lovely with our Amihan and Lagim. It was obvious from the start that she cares a lot for animals and will do her best by them - even before our meet and greet, she's asked very relevant questions about our babies' care! Our normally shy cats took to her right away too, and we were able to enjoy our time away knowing they were in her care! "

"Fern and Mei took care of our cat while we were away for 2 weeks and we are so happy we chose them! They were the perfect fit. Our cat took to Fern immediately. They also sent photos everyday which made us feel reassured that she was in good hands. Would absolutely book with them again and recommend using them for our pet-sitting needs. "

Why pet sitting ?

When you have to go away or work long hours, you may worry about leaving your pet home alone. Have you ever wondered “Is there a pet or dog sitter in Christchurch that can help?”.

Luckily, with Pawshake, you can easily find local and trusted pet and dog carers from Christchurch to provide drop in visits and other services. This means a pet sitter will come and visit your pet at a time you both agree on and provide lots of love and personal attention. This can include playtime in the backyard, a walk to the local park, or just some cuddle time. Our pet carers can also administer medication, give food, and refresh the water bowl.

In home pet sitting services are a great way to break up the day and enrich it for your pet. Pawshake pet sitters have extensive experience caring for a range of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds and more. If you have multiple pets, home visits are a great option to ensure that they all get a visit and lots of attention during the day.

Drop in visits are the least stressful option for your pet because your pet can stay in their favourite environment – their own home in Christchurch. Their surroundings will be familiar and our loving and passionate Pawshake sitter will spoil them each day. Our sitters will treat your home with respect and are flexible with timing, requests and durations. All this can be discussed before you make a home visit booking.

Pet boarding is a great option for when you are away for a few days and your pet needs overnight care. Unlike pet hotels, Pawshake pet boarding allows you to arrange a personalised daily routine for your pet, whether this be extra belly rubs, playtime or 24 hour supervision. Your pet will stay with the pet sitter in a cosy home environment, rather than a large, impersonal pet hotel.

So whether you need just one day, a week or even a month, you’ll be able to find an experienced pet or dog carer to accommodate you and your pet’s needs in Christchurch. The best part is that your Pawshake pet sitter is from your local neighbourhood, so they will be familiar with the area.

Our pet carers also have a range of experiences which include puppies, seniors, nervous pets and dog training. So if your pet has special requirements, you’ll be sure to find a pet sitter that is a good match for you.

Your pet’s safety and welfare is a big priority for us, which is why all of our Pawshake pet sitters undergo a strict vetting process by our trust and safety team. At Pawshake, we understand that you might feel a little uneasy allowing a pet sitter to enter your home or arranging pet boarding at their place. This is why Pawshake pet sitters also have reviews from other pet parents that are publicly available on their profile for you to read.

Each pet sitting home visit and pet boarding booking made through Pawshake is covered by the Pawshake Guarantee, which includes veterinary coverage, customer support 7 days a week and more. Rest easy knowing that your pets will be well looked after by one of our expert pet carers in Christchurch.

Pet owners book pet sitting in Christchurch on Pawshake. Over 2498 pet owners in Christchurch have left a review, with an average of 4.97/5. All paid safely using Visa, Mastercard, American Express
